How could I use haxr (http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/HaXR) to build a stateful server?
It should listen on some port, and fork threads (inside Haskell land) to handle incoming calls. Any of the Haskell web frameworks can do this?
I guess this is the same question as: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2009-December/071185.html
Pretty much any of the Haskell web frameworks listen on a port, accept HTTP requests and fork a new GHC thread into a handler. I'm more familiar with the Happstack/Snap approach to writing handlers (although the Snap approach is evolving away from Happstack), and a lot of people have good luck with Yesod. Happstack crash course: http://happstack.com/docs/crashcourse/index.html Snap quickstart: http://snapframework.com/docs/quickstart Installing and starting yesod in five minutes: http://www.yesodweb.com/page/five-minutes In particular, I know that the folks working on yesod have spent a lot of time on documentation.
